Fantastic video, thank you for making it!! I followed your instructions exactly and was getting a timeout error. Turns out the standoffs I had were a tiny bit too long, making the connection to the controller very touchy. Found some that were about 1mm shorter and worked like a dream. One other thing I saw a number of people mention is adding a ground. I just added a short ground wire to the breakout board and terminated it on the controller box which is then grounded to my home ground. No idea if it makes a difference but I guess it can't hurt.
I would love to see a video of you pushing that spindle to its limits on some hardwoods with a 1/2 inch bit, so we can get an idea of what kind of performance we can expect with your setup.
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge i just got mine set up thanks to the help of your part 1 video mine is maxing out at 12000rpms. Do you possibly know what parameter i could change to access the full 24000rpms on the spindle. Thanks again
@@vanstray Hello Kimani. I just finished wiring my vfd to the controller. Your instructions were perfect! The controller is communicating with the vfd now and no more manually turning on the spindle motor and tweaking the rpm knob anymore. Thanks again!
Hello! I need a female aviator connector that goes to my spindle and then the other end just wires to connect to the HY VFD. I can’t solder, so I need one already made up. Can anyone help me? Great video.
PWNCNC makes cables that connect the spindle to the VFD, shielded and ready to go. I believe they charge by the foot pwncnc.com/products/spindle-cable?ref=8AC5ge7gj3eqAl&variant=41428190953611
I haven't used it out of Fusion yet, but so far yes it gets the RPM speed from the gcode. It'll give a screen prompt to start the cut once it reaches the correct speed.
Great instruction. While running a job that sets the spindle speed to whatever you programmed in the CAD program, is it possible to change the speed on the fly with the speed potentiometer knob?
I’m working on a video right now about that it should be out in the next couple of days. I did have to change some settings to work with the Masso but only a few
Nice video, thanks for all the research on this topic. I followed your vid and wired mine however mine for some reason is rotating in reverse (must have wired it wrong somewhere any suggestions? I know I can hit the rev button but I have OCD and it needs to have the forward light showing and go in the right direction!
I’d have to grab the book but if the wiring is correct there are PID settings that will set it to rotate in the correct direction. I’d have the find the book first to let you know
I appreciate you documenting your CNC journey. All these videos will be very helpful when I save enough for my own CNC. I was pretty set on getting a onefinity, but the recently announced shapeoko 5 pro looks really nice, so I'm between the two. Cost would be roughly the same all things considered. Whichever way I go, I'll be adding a vfd spindle within a year after. Will your CNC setup be just as a hobby or will you be using it for a side hustle/small business? Looking forward to more of your CNC videos.
Hey thank you! I know there are a lot of new people getting machines so figured i'd help with the growing pains. As for my setup it will be a mix of side hustle and hobby. I'll be doing a lot of projects just for fun or friends in addition to some more detailed jobs for business related needs.
Hi…great videos… I’m coming from shapeoko pro and move to 1f. I can’t figure out how to have the 1f automatically turn off dust collection and the spindle after job is done or for tool changes. Have you been able to complete this process?… let me know thx Keep the vids coming as I’m excited to get the new controller in the future.
Thanks, I believe you’ll need an IOT relay for it to work. I’ve seen the process done, but haven’t connected it to my system yet. I might work on that after the holidays and create another video
Yes as @vanstay says. A breakout box to get to the pins on the back of the onefinity controller and connect that to the IOT relay to control a vacuum. This can control a router too but note the IoT relay product only handles 12A (Router and vacuum will exceed this). To get this to work you need a vacuum that turns on automatically with a tool load. You plug the tool in to the IOT relay and the IOT relay in to the vacuum. The IOT relay turning on the router will draw enough current that the vacuum will then switch on. For a spindle control, what was done in this video should do the trick.
I’m pretty satisfied with this. I do wish it came more cable ready since I’m new to wiring things like this, but it was the most affordable solution I found and lots of other people were using it so I had a potential support network. If I had the money back then I might have invested in the plug and play version for warranty reasons but otherwise I’m happy with this.
Hello, I have a Huanyang vfd and 2.2kw spindle 220 volts. I did not reset my vfd when I put in the settings from several videos. It worked except it would only go to 208 hertz. I reset it and now it goes to 400 hertz but the potentiometer does not work. Is there a setting I can change to fix it. TIA
despite using the correct hex keys, I ended up stripping both heads so now I can't mount my 80mm spindle clamp. Looks like I have some drilling and tapping in my future....Even tried the ones at the top the Z mount and only 1 of those would break loose.
I wonder if these vfd setting would work when using a xprov5 controller. I have tried different settings and watched a bunch of youtube videos,but have not found the correct settings for it.
Hi VanStray During configuration for VFD I have problem to find P01, P02. I only got uP0, uP3, uP4, uP5, uP6. Sir, please telling me How to changing these uP code to P code in VFD CNC 6040Z 4 axist. When I tried to reset factory setting error 40 appear. Then unable to get P code again. Thank you sir
Are you using the same VFD I have in the video? I haven’t done a factory reset, but from what I’ve heard people had to reach out to the company support line and they were able to get them back to the right menu

Glad to hear you got it all sorted out and that the video was helpful. Hope the spindle setup works out great for you!
Great videos. Thanks for your help

It’s on the list for my follow up video. I have a set of collets in my cart right now 😁
Than I just emailed to them today. But still not receive the answer

Hello, great video. I’ve been turning my vfd on manually for a while. Need to take the time and wire mine up. Thanks!
Yeah one you get that part dialed in it’s so nice to not have to touch things

Can you please link the spindle vfd kit you purchased? Thanks for sharing 👍 great vid.
Never mind I found it in one of the other vids you posted. My bad. Thanks again for sharing 😊
Great vid!! Thanks for that 🙏🏻. Does the VFD take the RPM from the Goode? For example when made with fusion..?
I haven't used it out of Fusion yet, but so far yes it gets the RPM speed from the gcode. It'll give a screen prompt to start the cut once it reaches the correct speed.
Thanks for your help.
Really appreciate this vid!
Great instruction. While running a job that sets the spindle speed to whatever you programmed in the CAD program, is it possible to change the speed on the fly with the speed potentiometer knob?
Not once it’s programmed for the controller to start and stop it. If you wanted to adjust on the fly you’d have to leave it in the default setup
I have masso G3, do you know if I can use the same setting on G 3?
I’m working on a video right now about that it should be out in the next couple of days. I did have to change some settings to work with the Masso but only a few

awesome video bro
do you know if this setting will work on a 220v VFD? Thank you
I Believe the internal setting should be the same, so it should work for both
Great videos Thanks!
Do you recommend this spindle? Or do you wish you have gone with a different solution?
I’m pretty satisfied with this. I do wish it came more cable ready since I’m new to wiring things like this, but it was the most affordable solution I found and lots of other people were using it so I had a potential support network.

Thanks@@vanstray
Did you have to wire the VFD to it's own circuit? I've heard that the 110 v version can easily trip a 20 amp breaker.
So far I have it plugged into a industrial power strip with other stuff and haven’t had an issue so far
@@vanstray Great to hear. I don't have room for another 220 circuit and didn't want the 1.5.

Welcome, thanks for watching!
So you're going to run your 16 gauge wire through your drag chain?
Maybe, I just got it into position and haven't started my cable management yet so once I start that process we'll see if I add a drag chain
Do I have to type that run command every time I want I use my spindle?
Nope once you set it up it stays that way until you reset it.
That is the same as the one i bought from Onefinity with my Laser.
Cool Thx!
Hi VanStray
During configuration for VFD I have problem to find P01, P02. I only got uP0, uP3, uP4, uP5, uP6.
Sir, please telling me
How to changing these uP code to P code in VFD CNC 6040Z 4 axist.
When I tried to reset factory setting error 40 appear. Then unable to get P code again.
Thank you sir
Are you using the same VFD I have in the video? I haven’t done a factory reset, but from what I’ve heard people had to reach out to the company support line and they were able to get them back to the right menu
@@vanstray I just get your vfd type. And it is from another company.
Mine is from Nantong Huijun.
